Given the Defendant's impecuniosity and the merits of the appeal, security for costs was warranted; the appropriate quantum is reduced from the plaintiff's estimate because the appeal's complexity did not justify engagement of senior counsel, and applying Order 1A Rule 1's proportionality and fairness yields an order for $400,000 to be paid into court within 42 days or the appeal will be dismissed and stayed until payment.
